If we play like we did today we won’t win another game. 19 was lost as were the linebackers

1) Noticed Dom Orange was not on sideline. Read another thread and understand he may be injured? Does anyone know the extent of the injury?
2) Brahmer was in street clothes. From my seat he was still limping noticeably. I would question if he’s back next week.
3) wow, secondary was lost all game.
4) As others have said, we need to bring a few extra guys occasionally to mix up the 3 man front
5) linebackers seemed hesitant today. I know they are young but appeared to take a step back from how they played previously
6) I’ll let you guys that know more about the OL than me speak up…but they were a sieve during most passing plays. Rocco was unsettled all day

Bill,

Please provide a list of the injured, possible return dates, etc. if possible.
TIA

The Cyclones and Jayhawks kick off a few minutes past 2:30 this afternoon at Arrowhead Stadium. The game will be carried on FS1. I’ll have updates from the press box in the thread below.

Any Cyclone gatherings going on? Would it be worth it to hit up Kelly’s or just head to P&L?

It seems to me that at least 80% of big runs (10+ yds) occur against our right side. What I see is our right DE sliding/crashing hard to the left taking away the pre-snap B, or even the A, gap whenever the initial direction of the RB is right up the middle or to his right. The right-most LB sometimes hits the A gap and gets squeezed or trapped by the DE or he fails to fill the B/C gap. The RB cuts back to his left and finds a gaping hole in the C gap. All of those 50+ yard runs that have occurred on the right side have been due to this situation. It seems that the only time we stop runs to our right side is when the RB's initial direction is to his left. In that situation, the right DE holds his edge and a LB or DB typically makes the tackle after a short/no gain.

For those who have coached or played at a high level, please explain to me what is going on and why? The right DE crashing so often has to mean that it is intentional in Heacock's scheme. So does fault lay at the feet of the LB and safety on that side?

Should be ashamed at the officiating crew in this Utah/BYU game. They have bailed out BYU as it appears they want them to be undefeated. This is disgraceful. Utah had this game won and they bailed out the Cougars.

Worst frickin team in America…???….
Apparently…
Sukeyes SUCK!!!!!

Probably belongs in Off Topic. Not a Kirk Herbsteit fan, but today I am:

Hopefully, the Bearcats come in beaten down.

Why are we having so many injury issues? S&C? Diet? Practice Regimen? Dumb Luck?

Did we hurt our chances by doing OC with on-the-job training?

Why does Rocco throw so many Pick sixes?

What does Jake Waters do on Game day? It seems unusual to not have the QB coach on the sideline.

Kansas City is picked for first in the Summit League by Blue Ribbon.

Several newcomers so they may not gel for a while, but they seem to have some solid potential this season.

I finally got to explain to my 10 year old and 8 year old what it was like to watch Iowa State during the Rhoads/Chizik era 😂

It's Kansas week, so let's get rolling with those predictions for the game against the Jayhawks at Arrowhead Stadium in KC.

1) Winner & margin of victory. (ex: Iowa State by six)
2) Total points scored. (ex: 52 points)
3) TIEBREAKER: How many passing yards will Iowa State finish with?

Number one will be the first determiner and then I'll take whoever gets closest to the total points. If needed, I'll go to the passing yards prediction to break a tie.

Contest winners will be rewarded as follows: first place (three free months added to your subscription); second place (two free months); third place (one free month).

Iowa State is currently a 3-point favorite and the over/under is 51.5 points.

Trying to accomplish an analysis this week is challenging with the Big-12 being the most tightly packed conference in the nation.

Moore just announced his commitment to the Cyclones on Facebook. Huge late addition for the 2025 class and from a defensive tackle that was one of the very early priorities for the staff before his original commitment to Oklahoma.

One of the hardest aspects of moving to a new place is finding a new doctor, dentist, ophthalmologist, barber/hair stylist. When you live and work in a town, you have coworkers and many friends to ask for recommendations. But in a new town it's not as easy for a retired guy.

My immediate need today is to find a dentist so I can get on their schedule for what I hope are cleanings, x-rays, etc. My Cedar Rapids dentist did find a cavity during my last visit which surprised me. He will fix that next week, but after that my next appointment will be in Ames.

I am looking for any recommendations from the fine folks in Ames. You may post it here or send me a private message with your recommendation. Any comments about your recommendation would be appreciated as I try to figure this out. When I search the Internet, they are all just names on a list to me at this point.
